I can instead choose to ignore the surround and only line them up in stereo pairs, thereby forgoing all the surround advantages that Vegas has to offer.

Problem is: If I wanna use Vegas to edit them, I can either mix in 5.1 and throw the center and sub channels away after rendering the WAV's, which is quite tedious on 200+ wave files. We import these into our game engine and play them back, fully positioned inside a virtual "sound cube".

I find this EXTREMELY convenient, since I use Logic to create quadraphonic surround ambiences and then render four mono WAVs: One for each corner. Logic has the option of selecting several Surround modes for each track: 5.1, quadraphonic, LR+sub, take your pick.
